Identify the logarithmic expression given: \(\log_3 10mn\). Notice that the argument of the logarithm is a product of three factors: 10, \(m\), and \(n\).
Recall the logarithm property that states \(\log_b (xyz) = \log_b x + \log_b y + \log_b z\). This means the logarithm of a product can be rewritten as the sum of the logarithms of each factor.
Apply this property to the expression: rewrite \(\log_3 10mn\) as \(\log_3 10 + \log_3 m + \log_3 n\).
Check if any further simplification is possible. Since 10, \(m\), and \(n\) are separate factors and the logs are already separated, this is the simplified sum form.
Thus, the expression \(\log_3 10mn\) is rewritten as the sum \(\log_3 10 + \log_3 m + \log_3 n\), which is the desired form.
